Does the expense get better or worse?

We've just received a whole load of bumpf through from the school my ds will be starting at (state school).
I thought it was going to be expensive but I was a little bit at the £25 for a locker pa (where I work it's only a £5), £110 for the basic compulsory sports kit (doesn't include trainers / boots), plus potentially several hundred £'s for extra curricular sports, summer camps etc oh and he has to have a google Chromebook.
I'm slightly nervous as to how much all the school trips etc are going to be!
Does it get better once they've started or should I prepare myself for the worst?
